New Film Star Not So Sure
He Can Afford Cost of Fame
By VIRGINIA MacPHERSON
' Hollywood, Feb. 16 (U.R) Actor Gary Merrill, Hollywood'! new
est hope for stardom, isn't sure he can afford to be famous. His
first big premiere just nicked the family budget for $2,027.85.
It cost him that much, he reported, to have himself and
his wife decked out for the opening of 20th Century-Fox's
"Twelve o'clock High."
"We decided we'd just wear
any old thing and nobody'd
know the difference," Merrill
said. "Little did we know!"
That was the day before the
critics started booming him as
a brand new star. The next day
he received his invitation to the
post-premiere "black tie" party
the studio was tossing for
Bossman Darryl Zanuck.
"We had eight days' notice,"
Merrill sighed. "And those were
4-H Chooses
State Officers

4-H Leaders association and or
ganization of the state into six
regions with regional vice presi
dents to work more directly
with the state group have been
announced by L. J. Allen, state
4-H club leader.
Mrs. Alice Lindsay of Grants
Pass has been elected president
succeeding Mrs. K. F. Wright of
Portland, who has been presi

tjon since it was organized 18
years ago. Jack Jones of Bend

Weddle have been active local
leaders and both have been
chosen to attend the national
4-H club congress in Chicago
as representatives of Oregon 4-H
leaders.
The regional representation

closer work between the state
group and individual county or
ganizations of 4-H leaders.
the most hysterical and expen
sive eight days I ever hope to
live through."
Merrill didn't even own s
tuxedo. That set him back $150,
Patent leather evening pumps
were $22.95, a shirt was $8.50,
and cuff links and studs (imita
tion gold) were $10. Socks at
$3.50 and a black tie at $3
and Merrill was all set for
$197.95. . -
How about the other $1930?
Don't forget the little woman!
Mrs. Merrill announced she
hadn't a thing to wear. But she
was going to be economical
about this. She bought a short
evening dress for a "cut-rate'
$185. Next came rhinest one-
studded satin sandals for $30, a
"simply divine " pair of nude
French kid evening gloves for
$25, and sheer cowwebby hose
for $5.
Next she found "an Interest
ing" red wool cape stole thread
ed with gold for $35. That tal
lied up her outfit to $280.
Came the day of the premiere
and thermometers all over town
did a nose dive. That "interest
ing' stole woman t do more
than -cover Barbara's goose-pimples.
So Merrill visited a bank and
returned with a $1000 bill. He
slipped it into his wife's hot lit
tle hand and told her to splurge
on a fur coat.
Mrs. Merrill protested for
two minutes and dashed to the
local fur emporium. She came
home with a mink stole for "just
a little bit more" $1500.
Then she had her hair, nails,
ana toenails fixed (for $12)
while Merrill hustled uo a white
orchid corsage (another $12).
1 thought the party and pre
miere were worth it," he said.

though. She said the only nice
thing anyone said to her was
where did she get her divine
chandelier earrings and neck
lace?
'And the funny part about
that is, they only cost six bucks
the cheapest part of the whole
spree!"

WITH A
'Mercy Murder' Trial
Set to Open Monday
Manchester, N.H., Feb. 16 (U.R)
Top secret sessions were held
by prosecution and defense at
torneys preparing for the su
perior court "mercy murder"
trial of Dr. Hermann N. Sander
on Monday.
"We are working on It night
and day," county solicitor Wil
liam H. Craig said. He refused
to make any other pre-trial
statements.
Attorney General William L.
Phinney, the chief prosecutor.
had made an exhaustive study of
the trial of John F. Noxon,
wealthy former Pittsfield, Mass.,
lawyer convicted of the electro
cution murder of his six-month-
old mongoloid son in 1943.
How this case would be used
was not disclosed. Noxon had
claimed it was an accident.
But Sander, 41, reputedly had
admitted he injected 40 cubic
centimeters of air into the veins
of cancer patient Mrs. Abbie C.
Borroto, 59, of Manchester, to
end her deathbed suffering.
To Be Drafted
Portland, Feb. 16 (U.R) Wil
liam L. Josslin, chairman of the
Democratic State Central com
mittee, said today that as a
"good soldier" he would be will
ing to run for the governorship
of Oregon if he is "ordered into
battle."
In a letter to, democrats
throughout Oregon, Josslin re
counted his qualifications for of
fice and asked:
"What would be my prospects
in your county? Do you order
me into battle?"
Josslin said he was the only
person mentioned for governor
"who has made a scientific
study of government," that he
had been a Franklin D. Roose
velt supporter "before Chicago
1932," and one of the "original
Harry Truman men in Oregon
who never faltered."
"I have no apologies to make
or political skeletons to hide.
Frankly, I don't want to run for
any office because I know the
hard work, expense and heart
ache involved, the apathy and in
difference or even hostility and
unfairness of many who should
five support.
"But as a 'good soldier' I am
willing to meet the challenge and
fight of a real two-party system
in Oregon not only the gover
norship, but also a democratic
legislature and a party of larger
usefulness."

Deportation of
DP Spies Urged
Washington. Feb. 18 W
Prompt deportation of displaced
persons who have used fake doc
uments to get into this country
was urged today. The urgiitg
came in the midst of testimony
on sex, fraud and bribery angles
of the refugee program.
"I am all for deporting these
people who have entered ille
galy," Senator Ferguson (R
Mich.) told reporters.
Senator Graham (D-N.C.) in
dicated he shared the same view
at a senate judiciary committee
hearing on the DP program yes
terday. With Senator Kilgore (D
W. Va.), Ferguson and Graham
introduced a proposed substi
tute for a bill recommended by
the judiciary committee last
month to revise the present DP
law, enacted in 1948.
The substitute, which is sim
ilar to a bill passed by the house
last year, would go further in
liberalizing the existing law
than the committee bill.
Making the split in the com
mittee even deeper, two other
members signed a statement in
dorsing the substitute and two
more said they also favored
greater liberalization of the law
than provided in the commit
tee bill.
Together, ihps ipwn m1r
majority of the 13-member com-
miiiee. unairman McCarran (D-
Nev.). bittprlv AnnniaH in ha
